MANILA, Philippines—Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on Wednesday urged fellow members of the House of Representatives to “set aside legislative work” to extend help to those affected by Typhoon Pablo (international name Bopha).

In a statement, Arroyo who now represents the second district of Pampanga, said the “government should always be at the forefront of trying times like this.”

The former President, who is presently under hospital arrest for charges of plunder, said that helping distressed countrymen should come first.

One lawmaker who is taking time off from work at the House of Representatives is Compostela Valley (first district) Representative Ma. Carmen Zamora, who is now on her way to her constituents.

In a text message to reporters, she said that her district was the first to receive a heavy blow from the typhoon and appealed for help.

The House of Representatives has been working overtime to pass key measures before they go on Christmas break. One of these is the controversial Reproductive Health Bill, which President Benigno Aquino III has urged legislators to vote on.

The Filipinos are sick and tired of this incompetent, piece of- s h i t president that we have now.

This buffon’s name is PNOY.

He also markets himself as tuwid na daan, but his governement is riddled by corruption, led by his KKK (Kabarilan, Kaibigan, Kamag-anak).

Hindi lang tarantado ang taong ito, corrupt pa!

Hehe, nawalan ka siguro ng raket kay Pnoy no? I hope you are not one of the smugglers of imported rice during GMA. In 2009, we imported more than 2million tons of rice making us the world’s largest rice importer. For your info, we are expecting to import only 150,000 tons of rice next year, and probably will have surplus the following year. If this is not progress, I don’t know what is. Don’t worry, election is coming in four years. By then you can elect GMA back to office, but for now, please allow majority of the Filipinos to enjoy the fruits of a “tuwid na daan”

Even as GMA is hard of breathing, she could not stop thinking of the Pablo victims. Considering how PNoy’s administration utterly failed in disaster response and rescue when the last big storm Sendong struck the south, GMA has all the more reasons to worry about the Pablo victims. Here’s a little girl, who despite being slowly choked to death through a neckbrace by the big bully in the palace, still manages to be so selfless. At times like this, we cannot help but be reminded of our lady of VMMC. So cute, so cuddly, so pretty, prettier than pink.
